| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Target External Subproject |
This group displays the master project and a hierarchical list of open external subprojects. Open Plan excludes the source external subproject(s) or master project for the selected activities from this list. |
| Target Parent Activity |
After you select a project, this group displays the subprojects activities within the selected external subproject, excluding any projects/activities that are parents of the source activities. You can either select the subproject under which you want to move the activities or select <None> to move and place the activities as the topmost children of the selected project on the left. |
| Move Baseline Activities and Usage |
When you select this option, Open Plan copies the baseline activities and usage records when their corresponding activities are moved. Open Plan does not delete the previous baseline activity records as those records are vital to preserving baseline history. That baseline activity record displays with an Activity ID value of "ID Unavailable" since the original activity to which it points no longer exists. Similarly, baseline usage records related to the old baseline activity record are not deleted (and are in fact still valid since the old baseline activity record has not been deleted). In the baseline usage spreadsheet, Open Plan displays the baseline usage records that point to the old name of the baseline activity ID as well as the new (copied) baseline usage records that point to the new (moved) baseline activity record. This option is enabled when you have update baseline rights and there are baselines available on the project. If you want to remove the old baseline records, update the baseline choosing the option to Delete All Activities No Longer in Current Project. |
